The Group at Re/Max First

Real estate has a lot of habits that have become normal even though they have not aged well. Some of them quietly hurt the people they are supposed to help, and most clients do not realize it is happening until afterward, when the deal is already done.

I have my own non-negotiables, and I made peace a long time ago with the fact that some of them are unpopular with other agents. These three come up the most. Not because they are dramatic, but because they get in the way of actually doing this job well, and I will not bend on any of them.

It never comes up during the search. It doesn’t come up at the open house or during the inspection either, and rarely when you’re reviewing the offer. It shows up after the excitement of the accepted offer has settled, usually somewhere in that final week before possession, when it’s far too late to do anything about it.

The good news is that it takes about thirty seconds to ask and the information it gives you can change the entire financial picture of the home you are about to own.

Swipe through to make sure you are not the person who learns this one too late.
